has broken up housekeeping, and is gOln
to Charleston, West Virginia Mr.. an,
Mrs. Witte are very pleasant people, an
will be missed by large number o
friends. The Fire Company made
little run this afternoon, with the beauti
full new engine. The horses rush the BIZ
machine along in lively manner, ant
are becoming quite we'll trained unde
driver Vifit. Reeves. At test few
days ago, the horses were run out ant
hitched to the engine, with the new drol
harness, in eleven seconds. This is Ger
tainly good time. Allen Hegler, o1
Washington G. H. is in town to-day.
We acknowledge pleasant call from Mr
John Shumate, accompanied by his sister
Eva and her husband. The Salvation
Army boys are cleaning out the new bar
racks-the Dever House-to-night. This
gives them central location, and will
doubtless add to the success of their work
..... Capt. Cooper, of the salvation Ar
my, went to Vinton, Gallia County, to-
day. to conduct funeral service. .....
Mr.. George McClary, of Coalton, called.

is now moved up the street. The
frogs are singing to-day, and the boys are
fishing in the creeks. Several small fish
caught seem to attest the advent of
Spring. 49,. There was good meeting at
the NJ. e. Church. The meeting was OF a
general character-preaching. prayer
meeting, and experience meeting.
e
the Missionary Tea at the residence of d.
L. Pickrel, on Broadway. The large and
handsome residence was filled with men,
women and children, and such merry,
pleasant time, has not been enjoyed here
for many day. Rev. Tedford, of Pres
byterian Church, led in prayer, just before
the tea, aud Rev. Rudisill, of the M. E.
Church, led in singing Coronation"
There was merry party of young ladies
present, as handsome as pictures, and
there were people of all ages, down to the
sweet little child of Mr.. and Mrs. T. S.
Vaughn. It was a representative Jack
son gathering, one that did honor to the
occasion, and one that was enjoyed by all
present. Mr.. and Mrs. Pickrel have rea-

Gle John Williams, of Centreville, is in
town to-day, and of course called at this
Office The cheerful words of such men
as Mr.. Williams are highly encouraging
to us at all times. -. The Salvation Ar
my occupied their new quarters tonight,
and everything was as neat and comfort
able as could be wished for. This new
room is quite convenient, and the sound
of the singing is not very loud upon the
outside. If policeman would occasion
ally disperse the crowd of loafers on the
town-house corner, it would still further
improve that part of town.. Mrs.
Reed came from Columbus to-day. .....
Mrs. Pauline Chestnut, wife of James
Chestnut, while at the M. e. Church, last
night, was seized with paralytic stroke,
and could not be removed for some time.
She was finally carried home, and remains
helpless at this time. Mr.. Chestnut, her
husband, is in the West travelling, and
great difficulty has been experienced in
reaching him by telegraphic communica-
tion. Mrs. Chestnut has had such strokes
heretofore, but none so severe as this. 1t |
was thought that she would not live
through the night. wv. J. Kirkendall

Winchester, is in to-day. IT. J. Ed |

day, and reports muddy trip of it,.

the evidence not being sufficient to make |
a case -. The Council read the Local |
Option ordinance a second time last night. |
FRIDAY.-The young men were having |
a laugh at the expense of our good-natured |
Constable, Dick Stiff1er. The wife of
Henry Scott applied for a divorce, which
was granted, and she was given the right |
to go to her home and get some goods be-
longing to her. Constable Stiffier was
sent along with her, and when he came to
the house Scott demanded his authority, |
and Dick-knowing that Scott knew him
refused to make any parade of authori-
ty, but permitted the woman to have her
things loaded up and hauled away. Now
Scott comes in and demands legal redress
at Dicks hands for despoiling him of his
household effects ..... Uncle Billy Swan
son called to-day, as jolly as he was thirty
years ago. We don't know of an old |
friend we would rather meet than Uncle
Billy. He says he is now living "all |
alone" This oughtn't to be so, and if he |
wasn't bashful old gentleman we would
never mind what we would say. |
80. John Reynolds. the blacksmith, is |
sick, and under the doctors care to-day. |
Tbo oF tho
people to wish for the speedy erection of |

The boys were made happy to-day by the
bulldog parade of the show troupe, with
two brass bands. 49,. w. R. Marsh, of
called to-day. Our young
friend Albert Brady called. We made
a visit tonight to the two meetings-the
Salvation Army, and the independent
meeting at Jones' Hall. At the Hall
there was fair-sized audience, and good
order, with Ralph c. Jones leading.
There was much interest manifested in
the meeting. At the Salvation Army
meeting, at the corner of Pearl and
Portsmouth, there was good attendance,
the room being full. Capt. Cooper is an
earnest worker, and his band though not
large IN numbers-is powerful in works,
and stands by him firmly. He has done
much good in Jackson, and is still doing
good. We believe it is the duty of good
people to encourage every agency for
good, no matter of what character or
